Im a little unsure about sharing this because I know the teasing that will be waiting for me.....

Grey Aliens.....Yup. When I say these scare me I mean they are scary to me to the point of being a phobia. If I even see a photo/drawing of one and my heart starts racing and I start sweating and freaking out.

Worst part is I don't even really BELIEVE in "Greys" *facepalm*

Let the laughing commence.

Nah. When I was a kid, I was obsessed with alien/supernatural books. Well there was one book which had a very detailed artist-rendering of what a "Grey" is supposed to look like. That picture haunted me for weeks. lol

It's those over-sized eyes on their emotionless and inhuman face. The worst part is that - OH MY GOD BEHIND YOU!!!

I try to face my fears with logic and reason. Although, cougars are seriously something to fear -- and not to be messed around with...I can say, I never felt a lot of fear when we lived in the San Francisco area. There's something about living in a densely populated area. Yes, the news is full of all sorts of violence -- but you're also surrounded essentially millions of people. Now we live in a rural community in the pacific northwest, and I feel more fear.

That logic and reason I would rely on, now often eludes me.

See, it's precisely the opposite for me. Not that I necessarily "fear" populated areas, but I know that people=shit and I'm much more likely to be stabbed/mugged/shot/attacked/gang-beaten/gang-raped/run over when I'm in a city than I am to be attacked by a bear in the woods.

I rarely venture off into the woods without my Glock. I NEVER venture into the city without it.
